Abstract

Abstract: Putting AI into the health data analysis equation by now has some `tradition’. Recently, however, more sources from one’s everyday life are being tapped for health and wellbeing monitoring. Here, we will discuss such sources from personal smart devices such as smart phone or watch to ambient appliances such as a refrigerator or TV. More generally speaking, mobile health data and Internet of Things data are considered as information sources for a generalised “ambient health intelligence”. This includes the consideration of audiovisual data as such can be captured also increasingly from smart home or vehicle agents beyond microphones or cameras on smart phones. From an AI perspective, the talk revolves largely around Deep Learning as tool of choice. Beyond motivating the idea of such an increasingly holistic multi-source approach, technical insights will be given into current solutions. This will be added by recent results including such from research competitions. Moreover, future perspectives will be shared on immediate and general challenges and next steps to be taken.
